Actually, there were free passes (none / 0) (#2)

... but they weren't handed out like water as in years previous. You had to be "invited" by some vendor (I think I got my invite from eWeek, so it can't be all that exclusive) then go to the Comdex site and apply for free exhibits-only passes.

Personally, I can't see paying to get into just the exhibits -- why should I pay to let someone show me their product? That's like paying to see advertising!

But as to why we didn't go anyway... Vegas jacks up room prices for that week to the point where if you're there on your own nickel, it's not worth the expense just to gawk.
